The Corruption™ IPA is DC Brau's take on a Pacific Northwest IPA. Brewed with Pale 2 row, C-10, Honey and Victory malts. Exclusively hopped with 40 lbs of Columbus hops per brew to ring in at 80 IBU. "The Corruption" comes in at 6.5% ABV. This beer straddle's the line between IPA and Imperial IPA and has a supportive malty backbone with an assertive hop presence that smacks your mouth with a dank, resinous bitterness followed by pleasant aroma's of pine sap and burnt spruce.

From a can, DOB 10/13/2014, which is currently 5 months old or so.A: Nice color which fits the style, head decent but dissipates quickly.S: Malty, caramel malt comes through, lots of hops - citrus (mainly grapefruit). Pine.T: Rich and rather sweet maltiness comes through, followed by bittering hops. This gets very very bitter in your mouth (and I like hop bombs generally). I'm not sure if they add all the hops at the beginning of the boil, but that would make sense. The taste ends up like citrus pith - very bitter and overpowering. It doesn't go away, even after a couple minutes. Nice pine in the background.M: Dry and astringent. Thin, carbonation is good.O: In the end, this beer has potential, but the prolonged bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste is a real turnoff. Perhaps this is a bad batch or an artifact of canning or storage. I won't be buying cans again, but I may try again if I find it on tap.
